Hi there. I am considering using Mr. Poster but it seems there have been a lot of problems. Are these issued resolved yet and is Mr. Poster reliable and easy to use. What do I need to watch out for when using Mr. Poster. Thanks in advance.
I'm almost a year late responding, but I thought I'd reply anyway. Someone else might be wondering. In my opinion, Mr. Poster is not 100% reliable - you will sometimes get errors when posting a batch and must try try again. The thing always freezes on me when I open another browser window in the middle of posting a batch, so I usually just let the batches post overnight on a Sunday night when I go to bed. Or you might get a whole bunch of technical mumbo jumbo errors I don't remember and never understood them to begin with - I remember some sort of ebay category error once or twice. This can be really bad on ebay reduced fee days or the now unheard of free listing day. I'd say Mr. Poster is about 60% reliable. HOWEVER, I still have to say I really like Mr. Poster. I've tried ebay's selling tools over the years, I've tried Vendio, and a few others I don't remember - maybe Poster Toaster. And after 5 years of using it, Mister Poster is still my favorite way to list because of the simple one screen lister - I can list faster with it than any other program. You don't have to wait for anything to load. Just plug your stuff in, snap snap, click next, snap snap and so on, then Finish. Just very quick and simple. And then save the batches to the computer for as long as you like. You can submit them at any time, just click submit and go have a cup of tea, or, like do like I do, go to bed. It takes a while, depending on the size of the batch. And like I said, you may have to submit it again if it freezes on you. I put up with these problems, all of which lie in the posting process - the pros outweigh the cons, and nothing's perfect. I suggest you try a sample batch of one or two 99 cent listings and just cough up the 40 cents of ebay fees from that. That's the only way to know for sure if you like Mr. Poster. I just wish Mr. Poster was Mr. Priority with auctiva; I'd be willing to pay for a bug-free Mr. Poster
